I recently put the Metal RC Trailer Hopper Frame to the test with my personal crawler fleet to see if it could handle rugged terrain. It is a purpose-built addition designed specifically for enthusiasts of 1/10 scale rock crawlers like the TRX-4 and D90.
The build quality is immediately apparent thanks to the solid metallic structure, which feels far more durable than standard plastic alternatives. It is designed to take a beating on the trail, ensuring it maintains its integrity even when tackling difficult rock crawls or steep inclines.
Attaching the trailer to my truck was straightforward, and I was pleasantly surprised that it did not noticeably restrict the articulation or movement of my rig. It tracks well behind the vehicle, making the overall crawling experience feel much more authentic during long trail sessions.
This is the perfect upgrade for scale-model hobbyists who prioritize visual realism and durability in their 1/10 rock crawler builds.
Overall, I am impressed with how this frame balances rugged construction with a realistic look. With a solid 4.69 rating and a price point of $69.00, it is a smart addition for anyone looking to add a bit of utility to their favorite crawler.
